In a thrilling T20 World Cup clash between USA and Pakistan in Dallas, the USA team put up a strong performance against Pakistan’s bowlers.

However, Pakistan’s bowling and fielding lacked intensity, giving USA an opportunity to build confidence.

Saurabh Netravalkar also displayed disciplined bowling, securing key dismissals and maintaining pressure on the Pakistani batsmen.

Pakistan’s batting innings saw a middling finish, as they managed to score 46 runs off the last 30 balls, but with the loss of two wickets. Despite a decent total on the board, Pakistan’s focus now shifts to their formidable pace attack, aiming to defend their score against the USA team.
